Funarj begins its 2026 Cultural Tour with Elymar Santos performing affordable shows across Rio theaters starting March 24.
Brazilian MPB icon Elymar Santos headlines the season opener of the Cultural Tour, a project by the Fundação Anita Mantuano de Artes do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Funarj). The artist will perform in four different city venues between March 24 and April 1, bringing music and cultural connection to diverse communities.
Performances are scheduled for Teatro Arthur Azevedo (Campo Grande) on March 24, Centro Cultural João Nogueira – Imperator (Méier) on March 25, Teatro Mário Lago (Vila Kennedy) on March 27, and Teatro Armando Gonzaga (Marechal Hermes) on April 1. Tickets cost R$ 5 (full) and R$ 2.50 (half-price), with sales announced soon on each theater’s social media.
With over 50 years in music, Elymar is known for his heartfelt performances and lasting hits that marked generations. His concerts blend romantic energy and Brazilian soul, reaffirming his timeless presence on national stages.
Cultural Tour: bringing art beyond downtown
The Cultural Tour project aims to make art accessible in areas with fewer cultural options. Managed by Funarj, it organizes events at theaters such as Arthur Azevedo, Armando Gonzaga, Mário Lago, Gláucio Gill, Imperator, and the Laura Alvim Cultural House. Its itinerant edition also takes music, theater, and community events across the entire state.
